This was just going to be a post of the past weeks Instagram pics,
but then I realized that I didn't Instagram all that much....
So, it's just turning into a random spattering of pictures.
Some Instagram,
Some not.
Some boring.
Some delicious.
and some very cute.
Starting with last Thursday...
Starting with last Thursday...
I got together with some girls from work to assemble
carekits for Heart to Heart International.
My friend Amy is quite the hostess and turned our
volunteer time into a dinner party. She fixed us all a
yummy Italian dinner...the cherry on top was this
little cutie Savannah, my friend Cathi's daughter!
10 months old and so much fun!
Friday
Friday I met my mom, sister and Alicia in the Westbottoms
for another month of First Fridays! Alicia and I had plans
for fried pickles and cheese fries afterwards so I purposefully
headed out with on empty stomach...
this unfortunately just led to me being tired, hot and hungry so
we only stayed for about 2 hours and then had a
long awaited rendezvous with Tomfooleries' fried pickles..
YUM.
Saturday
Not much other than Olympic watching.
Still loving it!!
Sunday
I finally got my butt in gear on Sunday and
hung the windows that I bought in July at First Fridays.
(I can't have too many First Friday projects hanging
over my head afterall...)
Roy was working, and I nearly killed myself hanging these
50lb windows (as in...falling off an inadequate barstool turned ladder with
the window coming down with me....), but I got it done!!
It was a very 'Iamwomanhearmeroar!' kind of moment when
I finally stood back and admired my hard work.
I'm pretty pleased with how they turned out!
Tuesday
I've spent much of this week fretting about what I'm going
to wear to a wedding we have this Saturday...
Dress on the left is the what I'd like to wear IF I can
squeeze into it...it's a little bit tight and I don't think I need
to be bustin' seams on the dance floor.
Dress on the right is cute too and quite stretchy...
hmmmm
This predicament was not made easier by these
cupcakes I decided to pick up for my orientee's last night
with me on Tuesday.
But they were delicious, and definitely worth the
calorie splurge...right???
Wednesday
Wednesday was super fun.
I went and visited Rachael and Ro
(I got my R&R as I like to say...
please remember, I'm a fan of corny sayings)
Little Ro was sleepin when we got there,
but she just looked so cute and cozy that I just
had to give her a snuggle...
those boppys are freakin' comfortable PS...
After visiting Rach I went home to get ready for
date night!! WooHoo!
We decided to go to CinemaSuites and solve the
elusive question of 'dinner first or movie first??'
It's a little bit pricey, but a fun date night every once in awhile.
Apparently I couldn't take my eyes off the
spell binding previews...?
We also saw a really pretty double rainbow on our
way to the movies
(and yes, it rained....THANK YOU GOD!!!)
I thought it was cool that this rainbow ended right
on top of Lifeway Christian Store.
A great reminder of what rainbows were originally
meant to stand for!!!
Thursday
I just hadn't gotten enough of my Rachael and Ro time
so I went back over to visit and got to go on a walk!!
It wasn't too hot when the sun went behind a cloud,
but when it came out we started getting a little toasty
and had to make a short lap home.
Roy wanted me to send him a video of little Rowan in
her stroller. I happily obliged.
Cause thats what proud Aunties do!!
Friday
My friend at work let me try some of her pickles.
She canned them herself and I about went freaking
crazy....SO GOOD!
And then just like some sort of angel she was like
'Hey, you want a jar? I've got extra' and I looked
at her like she'd just offered me her kidney!
I ate 1/3rd of the jar over the second half of my shift!
I couldn't stop myself!!
I'm for sure gonna swell up like a balloon and
not be able to wear the striped dress to the wedding!!
Good thing I've got the stretchy pickle-friendly dress
as a back-up!
Roy went and worked with his best friend Ed today.
The two of them have this 'bring your best friend to work' thing going on,
and Ed has ridden along with Roy a few times,
so today Roy was an honorary vault man.
Vaults.
Not bank vaults.
As in...a vault you put a casket in...
Wierd job, right??
I dont get why people pay extra money to put their casket
inside a sealed vault? Are they planning to exume the person?
Want them to stay earthworm free for eternity?
I told Roy he better not even think about spending any
extra money on a valult for me....he can just buy the
bargain casket and be good to go.
He sent me this cute picture of himself out on the job.
I just wanna pinch him.
And that's it!!
It's been pretty busy week.
Tomorrow is the wedding and we'll have the
final dress showdown....stay tuned...
Dun-dun-dunnnnnn
